r own younger sister, not to mention protecting the child, she would probably have been scared to death during a palace coup. But Xia Fuzhang's daughter did very well, exceeding the expectations of an...Lian Yi felt that the male cultivator's analysis was very accurate, so she nodded in agreement.

"My lords, shall we leave this mansion and take a look outside first"

"Good."

The ripples' suggestion was met with approval. Even if we had to come up with ideas, it would be good to know in which direction to strive.

But when over thirty people came from the third courtyard to the gate, they found they couldn't leave the compound at all. Now, what else was there to misunderstand The Zhou brothers had deliberately trapped them here.

When Qiao Hao touched the door, he triggered the formation. The formation ruthlessly bounced him back. This was only because he hadn't used his spiritual energy; otherwise, the counterattack would have been much heavier.

Although it was just a moment, the trapped cultivators were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. They all had their own strengths. A cultivator who was proficient in formations immediately noticed something amiss.

"This is a combined formation that combines the trapping formation and the spiritual restraint formation. As long as we find the eye of the formation and destroy it, the spiritual power that has been imprisoned on us will be released."

The speaker was a young male cultivator, giving off the feeling of being underage. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes that were very sunny. He was wearing a black robe dotted with stars.

His words brought hope to everyone. Qiao Hao immediately asked:

What is your honored name

"I am Jingxing, an inner disciple of Guanying Building."

"Dao You Jing is very knowledgeable about formations, so what should we do next"

Joe got straight to the point. As cultivators, they were all now trapped in the same place and naturally needed to unite and prioritize self-rescue.

“The formation just now flashed by, I could only determine that it was a composite formation. As for how to break the formation, someone needs to activate it again this time at my designated location so that I can calculate the center of the formation, and then I will ask this fellow Eileen to destroy the center.”

Jingxing didn't come empty-handed, and directly explained the situation.

Liàn Yī held onto Xuān Fēng's arm, standing amongst the crowd. Hearing her name called out, she nodded in response:

"I'm fine."

Everyone looked at the ripple display and expressed their willingness to obey Jingxing's command. Although the formation would be met with resistance, it wouldn't harm their lives. As long as they dispelled the spiritual energy imprisonment and practiced a few cycles of the technique, they could recover as before.

Since everyone has agreed, Jingxing will now begin commanding others to help him explore the formation. The members of Wu Yunzong are naturally among them. Lianyi turned to Qiao Hao and said:

"Senior Brother Qiao, please ask everyone to be more careful. According to my guess, Zhou An will probably arrive here tomorrow."

"I understand."

On the other side, Zhou An, who was being remembered by many cultivators, felt a little panicked at this time. This time, he and his twin brother had planned for a long time to get all the third batch of disciples from the Wu Yun Sect into Bian Xia City in another space.

And this time, their wish came true. Among those who arrived were two disciples at the late stage of foundation building. It can only be said that the sect still has a deep foundation. He and his younger brother each absorbed the cultivation of a late-stage foundation building disciple, allowing him to advance to the late stage of foundation building, and even enabling his younger brother to challenge the golden elixir realm.

As long as the younger brother advanced to the Golden Core stage, they could take the gathered cultivation resources and temporarily hide in Bian Xia City, an extra-spatial location. There were captured cultivators imprisoned there, each a vessel of spiritual energy. They would be more than enough to sustain their cultivation for a while.

When he also ascends to the Golden Core stage, the two brothers can completely change their appearance and become wandering cultivators.

At this time, Zhou An still didn't know that his good brother had fallen, perhaps because there was a connection between twins, he vaguely felt something was wrong. Because at this moment he couldn't contact his younger brother, he could only press down on his restless mood.

Either he waits for his younger brother to be promoted and then replaces him, or he enters the Bianxia City in another dimension. Although he's anxious now, he has to stay calm. After all, he doesn't have the ability to enter and exit another dimension at will. He can only wait until the two cities overlap again before he can enter one of them.

At this time, Du Led led had already arrived at the outer city of Xianyunzong's affiliated territories. Her storage bag was almost empty. If she wanted to continue venturing deeper into Xianyunzong's domain, she needed to find a way to earn spirit stones first.

Out of desperation, she began joining teams to take on missions. After carefully selecting a team, she started working diligently through the tasks.

During a mission, she absorbed the entire aura of an orange-aura female cultivator in her team. Later, during another mission, this female cultivator was attacked by a tier 3 monster and severely injured, forcing her to leave the team.

And Du Le'le seized the opportunity, at a crucial moment she thrust her sword into the vital point of the third-order whirlwind carving, slaying this third-order monster beast, and indirectly saving that female cultivator.

The female cultivator was also very grateful to Du Le, and her teammates felt that Du Le was reliable at critical moments and trusted her even more. In the subsequent team missions, this team composed of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building had a higher completion rate, and their storage bags gradually swelled up.

After taking another period of rest, Du Li finally successfully broke through to the mid-foundation stage. However, this breakthrough also caused her storage bag to become empty again, making her hate Qiao Lianyi even more.

If Qiao Lianyi had obediently accepted the blame for framing her, Yun Shishu wouldn't have been imprisoned in Si Guya. She wouldn't have found it so difficult to acquire cultivation resources, and she would hate the Qiao family even more. If they hadn't hired someone to rob her halfway, the cultivation resources in her storage ring would have allowed her to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building without any problems.

But Du Li had forgotten that it was she who first came up with the idea to target Qiao Lianyi. Moreover, her fall in realm was a self-directed and acted tragedy, but it had nothing to do with Lianyi. Today's outcome was entirely her own doing. It's a pity that some people will never look for reasons within themselves.

Du Li had ascended to a higher level. To earn more cultivation resources, she needed to take on more challenging missions. Her current team could no longer meet her needs, and besides, the members' luck was average, not worth her time. She left the city with an excuse and set off to find her next target.

At this moment, within the alien space, Bian Xiacheng has been found by Jingxing's tireless calculations. He has found the eye of the formation, and the rest is left to Lianyi.

Lian Yi looked at where the other party was pointing, then swung her fist and launched an attack. This time, she didn't want to waste time and directly used the power of a Jindan cultivator. With a single punch, she shattered the formation eye.

With a "crack," the sound of shattered glass echoed through the air, and everyone's hearts leaped with joy.

Ripple's expression changed, and she immediately said to Jingxing:

"Quickly, the next volley's position."

"The southwest direction is represented by the character 'Shen'."

Jingxing blurted out.

The ripples struck swiftly, and as the attack landed, the second formation eye was shattered. Everyone immediately felt the spiritual power that had been constricting them within begin to loosen. Apparently, the restraining formation had been broken.

"Ah Quan!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air, but Zhou An still arrived in time. At that moment, he held his brother's headless corpse, grief consuming him.

A chill ran through everyone's hearts. This was going to be a tough battle, and everyone hastened the circulation of their spiritual energy within.for it is there that the so-called ascension passage lies.She felt that this passage must also be artificially controlled. To break through the barriers, at least the cultivation of a Nascent Soul sta...
